Would these brown jump boots work for an earth-crust/neofolk/trad doom/NWOBHM/gay lumbersexual-vibe?

I love these, too bad would have to drop half of my savings to get them(I'm a student)

i need to replace my laces for the first time. any particular brand to cop, or will anything on amazon do?

>>14275707
They will be perfect for that core

That outsole is atrocious. Get something with a wood heal and leather outsole that contrasts.

Whats the difference between doc-martin and solovair boots ? I can't find any information about the difference, besides solovair being more expensive. I want to get a good pair of black boots that won't destroy my bank account thats within the range of $200

>>14276409
Solovairs have much better craftmanship and materials.

>>14276409
One is a meme to hate on and the other is a meme to shill.
They're both decent beater level boots.

Love my redwing, I have several pair. Today just putting a little polish on my heritage boots, I got a real dark spot. I'm using red wind polish, and just applying a light coat to even out the color. How do I fix this?

>>14276780
who cares that boot is trash>>14276780

>>14276409
I am almost certain they're the same construction, leather, everything, except the insoles. Docs use their own I think.
Docs used to be made in solovair factories until they took off, so theyre pretty much equivalent.

who makes boots like these?

>>14277169
Those are Chelsea boots

>>14275674
Are there any decent black cuban heel boots for ~100$?

Will it look wierd to wear these to office job?
I can't afford another pair of nice boots yet.

anyone know some kino rainboots for a college student?

Rain boots seem like overkill unless you're required to stand outside a good bit.

I need an every day wear boot for wearing to work (normal office) and city walking. Water resistant needed for rainy weather. Have hiking boots, have snow boots, just need a lighter, effay every day boot.

dress nicely with boots

>>14281747
Damn they’re beautiful. Why don’t other brands do them like this?

>>14280805
Sure, if they are boots from a proper bootmaker (Red Wing vs. Viberg). With fashion brands like Gucci, you're not paying for quality.

Does anyone know the id for these, or its lacing style?

>>14285437
Those boots are from OAMC a couple of seasons ago. OAMC makes incredibly designed boots despite not being dedicated shoemakers, but I find the whole label to be expensive for what it is. I also hardly see it end up on resale, but you can usually cop things on sale.

Does anyone know where I can cop these boots ? If not, what kind of boots should I wear if I want to tuck my pants in them?

I've got a problem with the sizing on my Austrian meme boots. They're too big and I want to exchange them for a smaller size but pic related makes me confused as size 8 British should be european 41-42 and it says it's a 43. Or is that not a size? Am i retarded? I thought I ordered a 9, i'm fucking confused.

Solovair:

Pros:

>"durrrrr muh heritage"
>way more classic styles, including your basic bovver boots like their line of steel toe cap-models and the more traditional Premium-line with classic brogue-, derby- and dress boots
>price is almost comparable to DMs, especially when it comes to more special models
>excellent site and quick customer support

Cons:

<despite being a hand built boot in the UK, the quality control is shoddy and it's like flipping a coin
<the standard PVC-sole is garbage, even weaker and more prone to cracking and spliting than on DMs (for some reason the old yellow'd sole seems to be more sturdy)
I have experience about this. Just yesterday as I was cycling back home, I noticed the sole had started to split apart from the darkened welt on my boots. This split was minor and I was glad to notice it early on, but even after emailing Solovair they basically told me the same they had answered to some dude on a Reddit-comment; "it's just the construction, the fault has been there since the beginning, get it glued, heat-sealed or send it back (postage is on you) to us so we'll seal it". I've never had this issue with my DMs, even my oldest pair of MiA-1490s have all sorts of issues now, leather splitting, sole rubbed down, but it has never split open.
>leather on anything other than the Premium-line of boots is the same plastic-coated crap as on DMs, but with a slimmer coating to allow for an easier shine

Docs reign in more consistent quality, Solovair with the better selection.

copper knot?

>>14288283
Still waiting for a run of the tanker or indy in cigar or ravello shell.

how do I get boots to look like this (well worn and used) quickly? I don't like how every pair of boots I want to purchase comes super shiny, I don't want to look like I have dress shoes on, I want them to look like pic related out of the box.

I believe Gucci and maybe Hermes produce their own footwear, but not many other houses
most big houses contract out to an italian or spanish brand for the footwear
the quality is quite good but definitely not top tier, despite the price tag
you're mostly paying for the design and the name

>>14289170
If you really don't want to put in the mileage yourself google Bed Stu. Like the other idiot said though you might as well go for quality and let the leather tell its own story over time.

>>14289540
Might seem like a meme to you but I have boots, bags, and jackets made with guidi leather and they're miles ahead of other leathers I've owned.
Guidi is a family tannery that's been around for for over a hundred years. The fact that they started designing and producing 'dark' tinged stuff is besides the point. The innovative treatments, hand dying, and construction all speak for themselves.
If you don't the want goof ninja design just go for their classic line produced under the original Guidi e Rosellini name.

>>14289542
The welt-bit on the inner arch really isn't a stress point. Or, by they way normal people walk. I don't know what sort of fucked up "virgin vs. chad"-dance you make on your walk to the store.

The soles are supposedly heat-welted, or melted into the darkened welt, the same way soles on DMs are made both in Asia and in England. I'm just surprised this problem seems to prevail as equally with Solovair too, despite marketing itself as a sturdier, more well-built and checked product compared to DMs.

>mfw I'll never own a pair of 14-eyelet steel toe cap-Solovairs with full grain-uppers, actual Goodyear Welt-construction and Vibram-outsoles glued and stitched to the welt

>>14289553
I’m sure the leather is good but this is a boot general and the way they make most of their footwear is downright clownshoe territory

got this, but I do not know with what to combine it, can someone send a advice, male btw

>>14289584
If you actually knew anything about the label you'd know that they tend toward slim profiles and silhouettes, pretty much the opposite of clown shoes. I'd understand if you said that about Layer-0, Rick, or even A1923 but now it seems you're just conflating a bunch of brands that you've never really taken the time to find out about.

>>14289607
Not talking about the width, talking about the toe shape

Pretty much everything under the carpe diem umbrella did that

>>14278239
I love the shape of the 2030 last with an unstructured toe like that. Seems perfect.

Those boots in the pic definitely need some TLC though

I wear nothing but boots. Boot in church, boots at the beach, boots to my dad's funeral. Boots have ruined my life.

>>14289617
Keep your ignorance. Guidi has nothing to do with Carpe Diem. Toe shape is a component of
silhouette and profile, which as I mentioned before, tends toward slim.

>>14289641
Duuuuude

>>14289649
those are fucking combat boots
that's kind of the point
you gonna post hiking boots next?
I said they tend toward slim silhouettes not that every one is slim

>>14289663
Not all combat boots are bulbous, also they do that thing where they bend the toebox, just clown territory

What are some slimmer, lighter boots that can work for casual-wear?
I'm rather lanky and don't want anything that would make me look clown-like
I enjoy the style of combat boots and doc martins but not chad enough to embrace the meme that doc martins have become

>>14289640

I die in the summer but I can't stop wearing boots

You dun goofed. They’re not even Goodyear welted. Hope you didn’t pay more that $100.

>>14276780
You should actually go to red wing heritage website and see which products are recommended for each particular boot . I don’t think you’re supposed to use that on the iron rangers, they reccomend the boot oil. You may want to wash them with saddle soap and see if that will lesssen the spot

>>14289591
have very similar boots to these would also like to know

yes they have a subtle camo pattern on them

>>14278239
>>14281927

These are the best looking boots in this thread, good lord they look good.

Where can I see the prices for those? I think it would be almost impossible to get them here In S.Korea

>>14293487
What it means is the size falls somewhere between 8 UK (9 US), and 43 EU.... 43 EU is 10 US, so it falls between 9-10 US, basically meaning its a 9.5 US

>>14294749
But compound the problem more because, every designer is different, and some have very large physical differences between half sizes, whereas others it's almost insignificant, one desiigner's full size is another's half size, and that is only talking length

All shoes are okay for summer. I live in a hot country and boots are just fine. I mean, with leather and socks, they will protect your feet from the heat outside. The idea that shoes and socks will always make your feet hotter is ridiculous. If anything, what they do is stabilizing your feet temperature, so it’s not influenced by the external temperature, like hot tropical environment or cold grey Europe.

That being said, shoes should go well with your pants. And if you’re gonna wear shorts, wear something that matches that, but you’ll always need thick socks. Thin socks just feel hotter imo.

I wore the same pair of dr martens for 10 years up until a month ago, they were completely trashed and are now retired as yard work boots.

I was looking into buying a pair of the made in england dr martens because i didnt want some made in vietnam bullshit that the standard ones are but i was priced out and the shipping was insane to australia.

instead i went with solovair because they are by default made in england.

i've got to say that i can see and feel the difference in craftsmanship. they are still a bit rigid, though i wear them every day but they're getting there. one thing i did notice with them is there are machine marks all over them only visible if you look really closely and one of the eyes for the laces has been lightly miscut (not a full cut, more a ring indent from the tool used) and then cut properly in the right place.

I feel like those imperfections give them more character.

Someone gave me these for Christmas and I have basically never touched them since I don't know what the hell to wear with them
Are they even worth trying to work into an outfit?
Should I just get rid of them?
They do feel kinda corny

>>14300298
are you australian?
yes?
any boots

>>14298892
looks like ann d scamosciato boots

>>14302076
sounds like you made a great choice! Be sure to add a review once you have them broken

>>14302088
those Would go Well with jeans or chinos, skinny or slim fit. I would not try to wear those with bootcut or relaxed because they are pretty slim, so you can go for that slim look

>>14302088
cool, ID?

>>14300298
Boots do not go with shorts unless you do not have a penis

>>14302525
I have a penis but small, so I’m good with shorts + boots?

A question about boot repair. I have a pair of red wings and the heel has now worn enough that it's affecting their comfort and how I walk. Can I take them to get resoled at any old cobbler? Are there things I should be looking for/avoiding when choosing a cobbler? Thanks in advance.

What's a good fit to wear with a pair of dark brown iron rangers? I'm trying to go for a more collegiate look but I feel like they look best with jeans.

>they don't

I'm thinking of starting to wear boots but I don't know wtf I'm doing. What do? Any advice or tips?

Does anyone know of any good jungle-style combat boots, but comfortable enough to wear in non-jungle? I heard the shank really doesn't work too well for comfort if you don't live in mud.

>>14303403
Find boots you like. Pick size. Purchase. Put on with clothing articles that compliment them. Enjoy.

What can I wear with these to not look like a retard?

>>14304096

Got about 2-300 to spend on some quality chukkas, should I get pic related?

>>14305715

Cop or not

>>14303126
Absolutely get them resoled at a cobbler. If they''re worn enough to affect your gait you've probably let them go too far.
A competent cobbler should be able to control and repair the damage by rebuilding the midsole/welt with wood, leather, or synthetic material. Then the cobbler will replace the sole itself, which is generally stitched onto the welt, as with Red Wings.
Depending on the damage, your location, and the quality of the cobbler, expect to pay as much as seventy dollars. I have a local guy who actually cobbles soles back together, as in he repairs bits and pieces of them when he can rather than replacing the whole thing. He charges less than the other cobbler near me but he doesn't stock Vibram soles so it's a trade-off.
Look online for reviews of cobblers near you and stop into a few to get quotes/estimates for the repair. Take a look at their setup (does it look clean, do they have proper tools, do they appear to get a lot of business, etc) and judge for yourself.

Someone help pls

I wear blundstones, picked them up in PA.

Any other boots like this that I can wear with my pants down, and with a good sturdy and thick sole?

I use them for work a lot, but I like that I can wear them to dinner too

>>14305774
These look cheap as hell. Is that sole glued on?

>>14305782
that's dirt you're seeing friend

Took a little while to break them in, but they fit really nice now

>>14277616
Go all in and wear a pair of Olympus Mons

>>14305710
i got some for $40+$20 shipping

>>14275674
Should i cop?

>>14306488
Sure if you have a wardrobe that will accommodate black boots. I probably wear mine like 3-4 times a week as well as my 1461s

>>14306510
id on pants?

>>14299640
This is simply not true. The taller you are the stupider and uneccesarily tall u look with very big heels. Shorter to average guys look best in high heel boots, think David Bowie, medium size guys look best in them though. I would go as far as to say, anyone taller than 6 feet should not wear a heel as high or higher than the typical slp Wyatt heel, which is not super tall but it’s unnecessarily tall, you feel retarded in them. Butt a shorter 1 inch heel or a bit bigger looks great on tall guys
>t tall guy

>>14308226
But the height of the boot cuts off much of the length of the leg, making it look disproportionate

>>14277616
It would only look gay if you don't wear crampons with them

>>14305616
nice dude those look pretty sharp! any more pics from other angles?

>>14306510

Just copped, how shiny are they IRL?

also pre-emptive RIP for my feet

>>14309066
Which is not a problem if you know how to work with colours

>>14309487
Well if proper shined up like mine (pic related), then they're just as hi-shine as the word says. Not quite as shiny as patent leather tho, and not polishing them up makes them a lot murkier and more matt. But it's just worse for the leather. If you want full matt leather (and a shorter break-in), look the greasy leather option.

help me out /fa/ I bought redwing IR's a couple months ago but returned them because I wasnt a fan of the toe box.
Now I am thinking about giving RW another chance with the merchants in ebony harness. I prefer a pair of black boots that I can pair with black pants but every damn image I find on these ones never appears to have the same shade.
Should I cop and dye? Could I get away with paring them anyway? Anyone with experience with the merchants? Begging you lads.

What boots should I get to wear to a Slayer show?

>>14309066
Boots come in many different shaft heights, some go just barely above your ankle like chukkas. Heel height + Shaft height

any cheaper version of this available?

>>14311591
The Merchants are the same boot as the Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths, but with a flat toe and different sole. They're all built on RW's number 8 last.
If you liked the IRs but didn't like the toe then you'll also like the Merchants. And black is such a retarded meme color for shoes. I have some boots in black CXL that I never wear because I don't wear much black clothes, and black boots basically only look good with black pants.
Get the Merchants, beat them up, but take care of them and they'll last you years and you'll love them. Get them in the ebony harness. It's a great color that's not super common so you'll look good wearing them and it allows more creativity when coordinating outfits.

I own Whites boots and Red Wings and am planning on getting some Crockett and Jones boots soon and even I still want a pair of Merchants to add to my rotation.

>>14311595
I HATE Docs, but honestly, Docs. I'm pretty sure I wore some old beat up Addidas when I saw them live and was absolutely positive I broke my toe when it got stepped on in the mosh pit.

>>14309479
Yeah got just one more though prolly better to see em in person, the leather is so nice and soft, better even than the usual mocs

>>14311691
That leather does look pretty nice

pls dom me

Boots

Currently wearing some Red Wing Iron Rangers, for me that was a rough break-in period... as much as the boots softened up my feet had to also adapt, becoming rougher/thicker and more numb in certain areas. Super comfortable now, more comfortable than my sneakers (not in terms of shock absorption but fit, especially in the insole and around the ankle)

Got some Wolverines on the way in the mail which I heard is even worse but we'll see...

Ultimately planning to get some Viberg service boots for myself come christmas.

What do you guys use to treat your boots? I've started using Windsor saddle soap & leather balm... leaves them looking a little too matte though so used some petroleum/beeswax stuff which gives them a subtle sheen but really darkens them

fit for these badboys?

>>14312662
Saphir Medaille D’or. They have dedicated products for calf, CXL, Shell, and Suede. Avoid saddle soap for shoes and boots.

Everyone knows you don't break your boots into your feet. You break your feet into your boots

>>14313073
After my third pair of GW boots it's become much easier for me, prolly the skin and muscles down there got tougher or something

>>14313084
Boots in general are just tougher on the skin. I definitely think there's truth to that statement
